Colostrum is an imperative that newborn calves consume shortly after being born.
What is Colostrum?
Colostrum is the first form of breast milk that is released by the mammary glands after giving birth.
It's nutrient-dense and high in antibodies and antioxidants to build a newborn baby's immune system.
It changes to breast milk within two to four days after your baby is born.
Can calves survive without colostrum?
A calf that does not get a proper amount of colostrum soon enough following birth, will not form a mature immune system until about 6 months of age.
A farm/ranch environment is much too contaminated with everyday germs, viruses, and bacteria for a calf to live half a year with little to no immunity.
